    We can all agree that Floyd is extremely talented, right?

    Yes no doubt. If these so called boxing fans hold every all time great to the same light they would change their tune. Tons of Atg fought more bums than Floyd has fights. When I say bums I simply mean low level fighters. That's why in my post above I mentioned that it takes time to truly put your own list together.

    I think he's achieved enough over the course of his career to earn a spot in the top 100 ATG list and anyone who says otherwise is either being a tad too harsh or they're probably a hater, IMO.

    No one can deny Floyd had incredible boxing talent BUT talent alone does not make an ATG. Floyd lacked the Heart, courage & cojones needed in an ATG. Can you imagine Ali , Robinson or any other ATG saying,
    "It wasn't fair Maidana roughed me up & bullied me" ROFL

    "I might be a coward but I'm a rich coward "

    Or Clay sr saying " I'm not going to let Little Cassius fight that bully Sonny Liston His health is more important than $$$$$$ "

    Face it guys Mayweather had the talent of an ATG but lacked the cojones to be one

    For calling him a hood fighter yes, but since Diego he did not fight one single great fighter that was considered both peak and at their weight class where the earned greatness. Catch weight fights don't count. Beat the champ at their weight they was s champ in.

    I can in his entire career only recall 1 catchweight fight. 2 if you caount Marquez, but Floyd was being asked to come down. And you're not considering Jose Luis Castillo a great fighter? Interesting. I mean he is a sure fire first ballot HOFer
